JUDGE KELLY's PLAIN TALK.
He Jumps on to a Young Attorney
With a ThUG

Judge Kelly rendered decision yes
terday which will be of great interest to
tax title sharks, and in which he re-
fleets with unusual severity upon a
young lawyer, who was defendant in
the suit. The case was that of Mar
guerrilla Schramm against Herman
Haupt, Jr. Judgment is found for the
plaintiff. AS findings of fact the court
finds that Haupt secured tax title to
plaintiffs land, and a written agree
ment was entered into by which Haupt
got warranty deed to the property on
condition that he plat it and place it in
the market, and Mrs. Schralnm was to
get $1,000 out of the proceeds, unless
the land sold for 8 900 an acre, in which
case Mrs. Schramm was to get $4,000,
but her interest in the property was to
cease there. Haupt believed himself.
and claimed to be by virtue of the tax
proceedings and the certificate of sale,
the owner in fee simple of the land,
although no consideration was paid for
the deed or the written agreement. AS
conclusions of law the court finds that
defendant did not acquire an estate
right, title or interest by virtue of said
warranty deed in the property; that the
deed, record of it, and the written
agreement are void and are to be can
celed. In the memoranda which fol-
lows the severe structures are made.
Judge Kelly says, using the plaineSt
terms:
This case is one of a class far too common
where the bold, shrewd and INSCRIPTIONS
seek to make something from nothing by tax
ing advantage of the timid, the unWary and
the weak. To thoroughly understand the
case one must see and hear the parties as the
court saw and heard them in the trial. and
without this kno Wedge it is most difficult to
weigh justly the transactions between these
parties.
On the one hand the defendant appears as
young. sharp. pushing lawyer uilhappily
however, apparently so imbued with the pre-
Valllng passion for money-getting as to for
get that the very first principle of his profess
sion is the protection and defense of the
weak and the proper counseling of those
who need counsel.
On the other, the plaintiff, an elderly and
unlettered German woman widow unabIe
10 read or write the English language and
speaking and understanding it but imper-
factly-a woman so nervous and distracted
with her troubles that one of the witnesses
called (who occupied an Office with the de-
feHdanC at the time) says he left the room to
escape the distressing scene" while the deed
in question was being executed This testi-
mOEy is fully borne out by her condition at
the trial, it having been with the greatest
difficulty that her testimony could be taken.
These are the parties and this is the trans.
ACTION between them: The defendant held a
tax certificate on the plaintiffs land for
which he had paid nominal sum- This
land was worth then at least 81 600 He
claimed the land as absolutely his own and
undoubtedly he had frightened the plaintiff
into that belief. When in that condition,
and without proper legal counsel, he OBJ

The Modern Method of Corre-
SDOndence

The Modern Method of Corre-
spondence.
Shorthand and typewriting have rev.
OlutiOnized the methods of conducting
business correspondence. Where once
a business man spent most of the day
in labOriOuSly writing his letters with
pen, or intruSting the correspondence
to clerks. he now, in few minutes, die
tateS his letters to a StenOgrapher who
transcribes them in legible, printed form
on the typewriter. Thus the business
man is relieved from the drudgery of
writing letters, while the letters are of
his own composing: he saves f0ur-fifthS
OF his time in his correspondence. The
only question that can present itself to
the business man respecting the advisa-
bility of adopting this method is whether
fOur-ffthS OF his time which he gives
daily to writing his letters are worth
the stenOgrapher's salary. Shrewd bust
ness men have not been slow to recOg-
nize the advantage of the system of die
tatiOn, and SO great has been the de-
mand for shorthand amanuenses of late
years that it is difficult to supply it
with really competent StenOgraphers-
those who are able from the start to do
rapid, accurate work, who have been
properly trained in amanuenses duties
and who are qualified 10y education to
fill the requirements of a position wheret
something more than mere machine"
work is desirable.
1t is to furnish business men with
stenographers that can be relied onto do
the work for which they are hired tina
Anna G. Drew's school of shorthand
was established Gin Hale block, st.
Paul.. During the past two years this
institution has furnished hundreds of
business men with stenographers and
typewriter operators, and in not single
case has one been discharged for incom-
potency.

He Wanted Bark.

Mr.. kaufman, of the firm of Open
helm 81 Kaufman, is something o. a
humorist, and is of the dry kind, but
there is always point to his humor that
is usually pretty sharp and never fails
to be clear. Yesterday gentlemanen-
tered his office, and had long conyer-
sation with him in regard to scouting
ground at South st. Paul for the lSca-
ton of tannery. After the convedsa-
ton had proceeded for some time lthe
gentleman raised the point thatM he
would want great deal of bark forahis
business, and he did not see where he
could get it. Oh, well, Mr.. Kahlman
said, if you want bark you better, go
out to North st. Paul and establish
yourself. They have a kennel club
side of that, and then you can get all
the bark Won want IN

THE GAS TURNED ON.
Third Street Partially ulun1in-
ated, Last Evening.

For little while last evening Third
street was Illuminated. 1t was but
temporary trial of the gas. for Manager
Van Slyke wanted to see how it would,
work, and did not put On a very high
pressure, but it was easy to see that it
was big improvement over last year,
and that the illuminators had indeed
outdone their highest expectations.
When all the lights are on, and all the
arches are in full blaze, the line of pa
rade will be one grand harmony of illu-
mination. The arches this year are
much more numerous than last year.
for, instead of being only at
the street intersections they span the
street frequently between the crossings,
which will add much to the brilliancy of
the picture. More taste also has been
displayed in designing the arches and
in selecting and mingling the various
colors of the globes. The globes were
being placed on the Bridge square arch
last night. This arch viii be the most
magnificent. The regular illumination
will commence tomorrow night, and
Third street will be given up solely to
pedestrians, who will march to the music
of several bands. X: .s--e s;.1

THE BOLD, BAD ICON" MAN.
He Works Three Hoosier Emil
grants to-the Tune OF S13S.


Three gallant Hoosiers were swindled
by icon" men out of sums aggregating
Sl3S in the usual way at the union depot
yesterday. The gentlemen were from
rural Indiana, and were bound. with
their families, for Spokane Falls, w. T.,
near which place they will settle. Their
names were Louis Hastings, Columbus
Haynes and c. A. Van Hoy. They were
right from the heart of ''Injeany'' and
chewed tobacco with nasal twang like
the swapping of the hoop-poles of Posey
county. They arrived on the Burling-
ton road. On the way they became in
timately acquainted with man who got
on at Burlington, and who led them to
believe he was a banker at Spokane
Falls. He insinuated himself into their
good graceS SO far that when "copper"
came along at the union depot yesterday
and wanted him to pay freight bill, he
borrowed s125 of Hastings, $1,000 of
Haynes and $3.50 from Van Hoy, leav-.
ing them as security worthless piece
of paper. which he represented as a
81 600 bond.

success. The farmers and liverymen

had secured one horse .shoer, Mr.. S. Fix
er, of Davenport. who would do all tine
work at twenty and forty instead OF the
published rate. twenty-five and fifty. he
had big run of work on Saturday as a
result But yesterday morning, fol

he would 60 back to the lis
